Quilts - unfinished

The 16-patch is now framed with a border of 4.5 inches. I'm not quilting it yet but at least it's off the floor now and ready to put on the frame - when I'm ready.

Here's the Aunt Alice quilt laid out. It's really hard sometimes with my little helper. I have cut all of the pieces for this quilt now and it's in a bin - waiting for me to sew it all up.

This is the one I will be focusing on to get finished up. It will have a thin white border and then another, slightly wider border of brown with blue polka dots. I had it all finished last year BUT I was told it had to be longer. So, I had to figure out a way to add length while keeping with the overall pattern. The pattern is based on an Atkinson Design called Fire Escape. This one is my youngest daughter, Ayla's quilt. She chose the colours/fabrics.

I'm watching "Just for Laughs Gags" on TV. It's hilarious. Sort of like the old Candid Camera but without any words whatsoever. Tricks played on the unsuspecting public. I love the program and I laugh my head off. There aren't too many things that make me laugh out loud but this program sure does.
